A pivotal voice of punk, Richard Hell will introduce his new autobiography, I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp, which traces his journey from the Kentucky hills to New York City—where he came to be a poet (and encountered Ginsberg), and went on to co-found the seminal bands Television, the Heartbreakers, and the Voidoids. The book recounts Hell's misadventures among such demi-monde denizens as Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Debbie Harry, while also tracing his search for redemption through music, poetry, and art.
